About Alyssa

I'd describe myself as grounded, patient, and playful. I truly love working with children- there's something so special about their curiosity, honesty, and the joy they bring to everyday moments. I'm hoping to find a family that's looking to build a long-term, trusting relationship. I started caring for kids when I was young, and I bring both lifelong personal experience and professional experience into my work. In my free time, I love being outdoors- hiking, gardening, and painting or spending meaningful time with the people I love. Caring for others comes naturally to me. I approach children with genuine warmth, curiosity, and respect for who they are, always aiming to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. My skills include patience, creative play, and my background as a licensed child therapist, which helps me support children's emotional growth and well-being.
